United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. RICHEY. You have got to understand I’m working there while all
this is going and I can’t recall him saying anything. I don’t even
know if he hit her, because her dressing room was like this and then
back down, and so it was, you know, you couldn’t see it from where we
worked. And I know they were hollering. But now I can’t tell you what
they were saying. I just know they were kind of raising their voices.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Had you seen her snap this G-string on more than one
occasion?
Mrs. RICHEY. No; I just happened to see her this one time and that was
the first night she was ever there that she did this, and then she was
wearing less than what the other girls were wearing, and Jack made her
get a different little dohickey more.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Now she started work there in the middle of the summer,
didn’t she?
Mrs. RICHEY. She couldn’t have started in the middle of the summer. She
didn’t come until after I was working there, and I know it was after I
was working there but I don’t remember the date.
Mr. GRIFFIN. You started in June?
Mrs. RICHEY. I started in June.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you recall if Jada was there by Labor Day?
Mrs. RICHEY. Labor Day is in September; isn’t it?
Mr. GRIFFIN. Yes.
Mrs. RICHEY. I can’t remember. I remember she was a big draw card. I
mean you know people really came to see her for awhile there.
Mr. GRIFFIN. This incident with the G-string though, you saw it in the
very first act?
Mrs. RICHEY. The very first time she was ever up there, I mean you know
we’d heard so much about the big great Jada and we were really thinking
boy this is going to be different; and it was. But here--Jack told her
that she couldn’t do that, that she’d have to get more clothes on than
what she had on. She couldn’t do that in Texas.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did she then put on more clothes?
Mrs. RICHEY. I can’t remember if she did the same night or not but I
know finally she did get some little other things.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did he have troubles with her though after the first night?
Mrs. RICHEY. They were generally fussing about a lot of things. I mean
I don’t remember what they are, but that was the one thing that I know
was the big thing as far as I know. But the rest of the things I don’t
know. I mean he’d fuss at her because she’s late and it seems like she
went to New Orleans one time for her son or something like this, and
she didn’t get back, and he kind of got mad about this. But that is
all I remember them fussing about is just those two incidents, and her
being late.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Did you notice anything about Jack in the 2 or 3 months
before he shot Oswald that would indicate that he was more or less
disturbed about things in general than he had been on other occasions?
Mrs. RICHEY. No; I don’t think so.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Jack’s behavior in the month, would you say that Jack’s
behavior in the month or so before the President arrived was typical of
his behavior at other times?
